Results

Dr. D. called this afternoon with the results from Chris's CT scan on Monday.

While it wasn't the best news, it could certainly be much worse.

There is some progression within the liver. In addition to that, the scan also showed some thickening of the small intestine. This may or may not be related to the cancer, but it is what's been causing Chris all the pain and it's also what has been making eating difficult for him.

So, the plan now is to see the GI doctor on Friday to address the thickening in the intestine. See if he can tell us what it is and how to fix it. Then, Dr. D. suggested we follow up with Sloan Kettering again so that we can find a way to stop the tumor growth in his liver. We are tentatively scheduled to go back to Sloan next Wednesday. We'll take it from there.

Continued prayers and good thoughts would be welcomed.

Thank you all for being our continued support system.
